Looks like another day of fun at the C&TS. I had to go to a training thing at work, so late posting these -- but here's what's been sent today.

Problems with the brakes on the open gondola is what held up 216 for around 25 minutes today.

Looks like Wade Hall (CATS dispatcher) was your pilot, I'm sure he hated every minute of that assignment.... ;-)

315 sits cold out in back of the shop behind 488's tender, likely will stay there until fall colors usage.

Goose 7 will also sit for about 3 weeks until the fall foliage days, Goose 5 is due to return then as well.

Repairing brake valve on 216 open gondola delayed departure for about 25 minutes.

463 pulled 315 to the pit, then 487 pulled 315 to south side of engine house and pushed it behind stall 4.

Rainbow appears over yard.

Going to try to see if this works here -- if people have trouble, let me know - I'll make it into a youtube video.

Larry Gibson's son is a weather forecaster in Mississippi - and sometimes Dad gets his pictures on TV.

Here's a youtube link as well.
